O Castro Art Village is a rural creative residency space made for those who seek their own bubble while having good company.

We offer self-paid or (at times) sponsored creative residencies in rural Galicia. 

You stay in geodesic domes, and work in a studio with panoramic views of Ribeira Sacra.

We welcome creatives seeking time, space, and good company to work deeply. 

Tucked in an oak forest you will find comfortable modern accommodation and share studio spaces, where you can stay and disconnect, or work on your next project. 

You stay in a comfortable, well-insulated geodesic dome, tucked into an oak forest. In summer, it stays naturally cool. In winter, it’s warm, quiet, and deeply cozy. You fall asleep to owls calling in the distance. You wake up to birdsong and soft morning light through the trees.

A short walk from your dome, you’ll find the studio loft; a shared workspace perched above the landscape, with wide views over the Miño River valley and surrounding vineyards. This is where you work alongside other residents and coworkers, each focused on their own projects, yet close enough for ideas to cross paths. 

The studio includes: super fast wifi, a screen and projector for presentations and films, individual workstations, studio table for collaborative work, lounge seating for reading, thinking, or stepping away from your screen. During the day, it’s a place for deep focus. In the evenings, it often shifts tone, becoming a cozy space for film screenings, makers’ events, skill-sharing workshops, or informal talks. 

The kitchen is where work loosens its grip. It’s fully equipped with everything you need to cook comfortably; whether you’re preparing something on your own or teaming up with others. Meals are cooked individually or in small groups, depending on the day and the mood. When schedules align, we often share one meal a day. This is the social heart of O Castro: relaxed, homely, and always open.

At its core, the project is dedicated to:

• rural cultural regeneration
• artistic experimentation
• meaningful creative work
• and positive local impact

We believe culture doesn’t need grand buildings to matter, it needs time, care, and shared tables.

Art for Kep is an initiative led by Knai Bang Chatt with a mission to transform the coastal landscape of Kep through the power of art, culture, and conservation. Its vision is built around three pillars—Art, Kep Music City, and Marine Conservation and Restoration—with the goals of enhancing cultural tourism, supporting Cambodian artists, advancing environmental protection, and inspiring visitors through creative expression.

The Paseo Project Artist in Residence Programs bring artists from all over the world to Taos, offering dedicated time and space to pursue their creative work. We offer two distinct residency opportunities: the Paseo @ Hotel Willa Artist in Residence, open to creatives of all media seeking a focused, independent experience, and the Paseo Project AIR Fellowship, which includes a stipend and emphasizes community engagement through a site-specific project. Both programs celebrate the transformative power of art in the unique cultural and natural landscape of Taos.

Creative Destiny Artist Residency was born on the land where the little red barn with a church window
casts a soft, steady light across the land and inner sanctum, illuminating the quiet places where
creativity begins. It is a place of reflection, healing, and creative spark. It is a sanctuary for artists seeking renewal and deeper purpose.

Here, the residency unfolds like a gentle invitation. Artists arrive carrying their questions, their hopes,
their unfinished work, and the parts of themselves that need tending. The land meets them with
stillness. The community meets them with warmth. 

This residency is built on presence, not pressure or production. On listening inward. On
trusting the quiet voice that guides the creative path. Artists are encouraged to explore, rest,
experiment, and reconnect with the inner maker who knows the way forward.

We support artists through a restorative environment rooted in
reflection, nourishment, and creative exploration. Artists reconnect with their inner maker and step
confidently into the destiny that calls to them, illuminating pathways of purpose for creative expression.

Our hope is that every artist who comes here leaves with renewed clarity, deeper courage, and a sense of alignment with
their creative destiny.

The mission of Kolaj Institute is to support artists, curators, and writers who seek to study, document, & disseminate ideas that deepen our understanding of collage as a medium, a genre, a community, and a 21st century movement. We operate a number of initiatives meant to bring together community, investigate critical issues, and raise collage’s standing in the art world.

Kolaj Institute Gallery in New Orleans is an exhibition gallery, residency center, artist studio, library and archive.

Founded by artist Dimitri Yin in 2018, Phoenix Athens offers artists and creatives from all backgrounds and nationalities with the time, space and facilities for professional and creative growth. The residency program includes a large workshop or “makerspace” , a gallery space and two living quarters. Residencies last between one and two months with several formulas for the residency plans available. These are the Full, Light (for recent graduates and academics and recent graduates) and finally, the Locals Only formula for residents of Athens. Key focal points of the project are inclusion, social justice and ecology.

​

Phoenix Athens Gallery and Residency aims to demonstrate how art and design can transform societies and individuals through artist-engagement and the creation of tangible and lasting art. Since its founding, Phoenix Athens has exhibited over 100 creative practitioners from Greece and abroad. Phoenix Athens draws on the progressive culture of contemporary Athens and its historic legacy of resourcefulness and resilience. Visiting artists are encouraged to explore new technical methods and to focus on theoretical and personal growth and development by providing a workshop or a talk. Visiting artists are also given an opportunity to market and sell any work they exhibit in the gallery during their residency. 

Phoenix Athens is committed to lifelong learning for artists and academics alike. We are currently partnered with College Year in Athens which hosts interns from private universities in the US, and the Europe-based Erasmus+ program which provides internships and exchanges for European academics in the arts. At any given time, two assistants are on board to provide technical, logistical and administrative support. Exhibition curation is usually shared between the artist and the director and the artist.

Residency applications and letters of interest to co-curate or host an event at the premises are always welcome. While there is no deadline for submitting a letter of interest or residency application, we ask that candidates provide this information at least three months in advance.
